|
|
A friend of me got a new laptop and doesn't need her old netbook anymore.
I told her I wanted to buy it but we don't want to rip each other off, so I don't know how much I should offer her, and she doesn't know how much she should charge me.
http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-one-d250/4507-3121_7-33676723.html
She bought it at around 300 dollars, but has been using it for about three and a half years. So the battery only lasts half as long as it used to.
It has 1 GB of RAM and a 1.66 GHz processor (Intel Atom).
So, what do you think would be a fair price?

I own one for school, and let me tell you; it's awful. It's so slow it hurts, actually.

I'd buy it for $20.
$40 tops.
I'd then strip it, get a rasberry pi and build a custom netbook using the case/keyboard/screen etc.

Or just put a linux distro on it
I don't see the point in stripping a weak computer to build a weaker computer.

Rasberry pi $35
Extra USB hub $5
16GB of virtualized flash ram $10
It would be loads faster than the processor already in there.

It would be loads faster than the processor already in there. | +40$ you have to pay to buy it in the first place, youd be losing money
itd be a fun project but if someone just wants a deal on a cheap netbook then its a terrible idea
@evil; you'd have to put a linux distro on it, rasberry pi cant do windows (and who even uses the other form of OS's)

No no, I meant put a linux distro on the existing netbook without stripping everything.

Yep. No clue why he thinks the pi is faster.

The difference in CPU power in a low end computer like that is hardly important, since all you'll be able to do either way is browse the web/watch movies/write shit/code, which the pi can handle fine, except it also has a gpu which supports blu ray quality.
I'm just saying it's what I'd do, and yes for a fun project, I wouldn't expect this thing to be amazing either way.

You claimed it would be "loads faster"
Also, unless you carried around a flash drive or external, you couldn't store blue ray rips
Also even if it can display blue ray quality, the resolution is 1024x600
